The entire Stop Bullying System team thanks Mills Peninsula Health Services and in particular, the wonderful folks in the African American Community Health Advisory Committee. It is one thing to believe we have a special gift or talent but it is empowering to know that someone else values our programs and services.
We are happily striving to do what the advisory committee's motto says: "sharing knowledge for life."
Knowledge is the Foundation of Life. From knowledge we gain wisdom and understanding. So it is a great day when we all come together and share our knowledge and experience in order to understand the dynamics of Bullying.
Knowledge for the sake of knowledge may become useless. The Stop Bullying System promotes sharing knowledge for the purpose of Prevention and Problem Solving.
We will collectively explore and process the following:
Bullying, what is it? Who bullies? Why? What do they tear down?
What is a friend? How do they build up?
The day will be informative and interactive.
Shakeel Ali,
Here is more information about the event:
Everyone plays an important role in ensuring all children are safe from bullying – including young people themselves, but not everyone knows how. To help people learn coping techniques and strategies to overcome and end bullying of all kinds, the African American Community Health Advisory Committee (AACHAC) in partnership with Mills-Peninsula Health Services, is sponsoring a half-day, anti-bullying workshop for youth, teens and parents called, “Bullies Tear Down, Friends Build Up!”
The free community workshop will be held on Saturday, March 30, 2013, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at Mills Health Center’s Hendrickson Auditorium at 100 S. San Mateo Drive in San Mateo, Calif.
Workshop Topics Include:
• Race-related Bullying
• Sexual Orientation Bullying
• Relationship Abuse
“The AACHAC is committed to hearing the voices in our community,” said Shaunda Scruggs of the AACHAC. “In the past few years, the topic of bullying has come up again and again, so we felt it necessary to meet the need. This interactive program will instruct youth and their parents, and share the resources available in the community.”
The keynote speaker is Shakeel Ali. Ali is the creator of theStop Bullying System Program, co-founder of Ask Academy(Alternative School of Knowledge Academy), and president of the Governing Board of Education for the Jefferson Elementary School District. He has also been a national trainer with Ripple Effects, an anti-bulling youth training effort.
Admission to this event is free. For more information, emailinfo@aachac.org or call 650-696-4378. To register, visit the AACHACwebsite: www.aachac.org.
